Encode method deprecated in Logon Page

Hi All,

we have to customize the login page in Portal 7.3  The Jsp files encoded the error message using

"EncodeHtmlTag.encode(logonMessage.print(error.getMessage()))". But the error messages is not getting encoded. since the method encode is deprecated. May i know what is the alternative to encode the error messages.Please help me.

Regards,
